"If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don’t hoard it. Don’t dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke."

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."

"Be with someone who is proud of you, someone you can laugh with, someone who listens to you, understands you, who treats you well and makes you a priority."

"Circumstance does not make the man. Circumstance reveals man to himself."
